Title: Rage Against, or Refuge in, Christ

Passage: Psalm 2

Speaker: Pastor Ryan Martin

Service: Sunday Morning Worship Service

Date: June 16, 2019

In Psalm 1, the Holy Spirit presents the substance of life very simply. There are two ways to live. The same choice is before us in Psalm 2. In Psalm 2, the two ways are presented with emphasis on the wicked and their foolish rejection of God. We either rage against Christ or take refuge in Christ. We either oppose God with the nations and perish, or trust in God and enjoy divine blessing. This Psalm presents several reasons to take refuge in Christ.

Title: Two Ways to Live

Passage: Psalm 1

Speaker: Pastor Ryan Martin

Service: Sunday Morning Worship Service

Date: June 9, 2019

Psalm 1 presents things very simply. There are two ways to live. One results in blessing, the other in destruction. These two ways are set before Israel and the whole world. We can either live the Word-centered life from God or the sin-centered life fro now. As this Psalm indicates at the beginning of the inspired Psalter, this matter is especially important as we go to worship God. That you too would choose the life of the righteous, justified believer, I want to see from this Psalm three aspects of the righteous man.

Many professing Christians struggle with assurance. Some churches even teach that it is good and healthy for believers to have uncertainty over whether or not they are saved. God, however, wants us to be assured of our salvation. This truth is made very plain to us in our text. What we see here is that assurance of salvation is obtained, not by looking at ourselves, but by looking to Christ.

Title: The Glory of the LORD Filled the Tabernacle

Passage: Exodus 40

Speaker: Pastor Ryan Martin

Service: Sunday Morning Worship Service

Date: April 28, 2019

The main character of this chapter is God. This narrative about the Tabernacle is given to help men know God. This has been a theme of Exodus. In 6:7, the Lord said, “I will take you to be my people, and I will be your God, and you shall know that I am the LORD your God.” This story about the Tabernacle helps us know God. Such knowledge demands certain responses of us. So how does the Tabernacle reveal God to us?
